I don’t often discuss specific job openings but I am going to make an exception for this position.

How do jobs make my “short-list” you might wonder?

Because I feel I have a certain trust level with my readers I won’t blog about any and every position. I will only promote a PA or NP job if I feel the employer values and respects nurse practitioners and/or physician assistants. This job meets my criteria due to the high level of independance their NP and PA providers enjoy.

Another plus is this NP/PA job is in my home state of Minnesota – actually small town Minnesota to be exact.

Here are the details:

This position is a true family practice position in a rural satellite clinic providing care for all ages across the lifespan.

Hours are Monday – Friday, 9a-5p.

There is occasional Saturday morning (8-noon) coverage in a neighboring clinic required which is rotated among 6 (yes I said 6!) other advanced practice clinicians.

Other responsiblities include “PRN back-up” for call in nearby Critical Access ER.

Back-up call and Saturday clinic coverage does pay additional compensation on top of the base salary.

Now excuse me for a minute while I brag about my home state. I’d like to remind everyone that Minnesota has alot to offer and this clinic location has something for everyone. I’m talking about easy access to the best fishing and camping in the state for you nature enthusiasts as well as theatres and large shopping centers for you city folk. (FYI – Minnesota DID invent the shopping mall) And when you want/need to come to the big city Minneapolis-St Paul is less than 2 hours away.

This is a rare opportunity to provide true family practice services with maximum independence in a rural setting that values nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
